How should I read the P1 places and applications figures?

More applications than places indicates oversubscription, but these totals do not give your child's individual admission probability or predict a future year's outcome.

Does living in Hougang give my child P1 admission priority?

A town name is not an admission category. Check your child's eligible registration phase and the current rules for citizenship and home-school distance. A school in the same town may still be more than 2km from your address. Confirm the applicable rules for your registration year with MOE.
